00:00:51.573 --> 00:01:03.406
So for today's podcast, we're going to talk about respect and we know, as entrepreneurs, we generally do not get much respect.
00:01:03.406 --> 00:01:17.742
If so, not at all, and the reason why is it could be several factors, and sometimes this lack of respect comes from outside sources and it also comes from family and friends also.
00:01:17.742 --> 00:01:23.049
So Eric Thomas is going to talk about, and he's going to touch on, respect.
00:01:23.049 --> 00:01:32.992

00:02:43.781 --> 00:02:45.908
And so what is the life that you promise yourself?
00:02:45.908 --> 00:02:46.502
Write it down.
00:02:46.502 --> 00:02:50.750
Write it down, be clear, be vivid, like, write that stuff down.
00:02:50.750 --> 00:03:00.664
So the way this thing works, c being the pilot, you know I always go to C and I ask okay, what are we going to be talking about?
00:03:00.664 --> 00:03:02.289
You know what's the theme, what's going on.
00:03:02.289 --> 00:03:06.383
You know I want to deliver it, but I'm coming to you, whatever, right?
00:03:06.383 --> 00:03:07.805
So Seal kind of explained it to me.
00:03:07.805 --> 00:03:12.532
So the word, and then he gave it to me and see, he used the word respect.
00:03:12.532 --> 00:03:13.935
Write it down, that's the word.
00:03:13.935 --> 00:03:16.540
So we can't get away from that word Like we can't.
00:03:16.540 --> 00:03:19.348
And again, repetition deepens the impression.
00:03:19.370 --> 00:03:25.211
So do me a favor when you go home, you need to play with that word for at least 365 days.
00:03:25.211 --> 00:03:27.933
Don't let it go out your sight, the word respect.
00:03:27.933 --> 00:03:29.395
I want you to catch that word in the morning.
00:03:29.395 --> 00:03:30.896
I want you to catch it in the afternoon.
00:03:30.896 --> 00:03:33.924
I want you to catch it at night, at least 90 straight days.
00:03:33.924 --> 00:03:35.306
What is specifically?
00:03:35.306 --> 00:03:37.231
What will you have me to do with it?
00:03:37.231 --> 00:03:39.822
Right, respect, right, I want to.
00:03:39.822 --> 00:03:42.343
If you don't mind, if you could just look it up, pull it up on your phone.
00:03:42.343 --> 00:03:43.425
I want you to see it for yourself.
00:03:43.425 --> 00:03:44.467
Look the word up.
00:03:44.467 --> 00:03:50.013
Just pull it up real quick Respect, right, I'm going to just walk through it To regard highly.
00:03:50.894 --> 00:04:03.045
I want you to look at some of the things in your life that's not 100 right now that back in the day, you know, maybe it was your business, maybe it was your relationship, maybe it was your health, maybe it was your money, like I don't know.
00:04:03.045 --> 00:04:05.971
I want you to think about that thing that was just on blaze.
00:04:05.971 --> 00:04:06.350
It's not.
00:04:06.350 --> 00:04:06.752
It's not.
00:04:06.752 --> 00:04:08.835
The fire isn't there anymore.
00:04:08.835 --> 00:04:10.526
It's not blazing like it used to.
00:04:10.526 --> 00:04:17.687
Right, and I told you before I truly believe it has nothing to do with the thing, but you don't have high regard for it anymore.
00:04:17.687 --> 00:04:21.247
You don't think about it much.
00:04:21.627 --> 00:04:22.250
Watch what it says.
00:04:22.250 --> 00:04:38.423
It says regard highly to think much of regard highly to think much of show respect towards an attitude of admiration or esteem.
00:04:38.423 --> 00:04:39.826
Good, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not.
00:04:39.826 --> 00:04:41.250
I'm not gonna say it for you.
00:04:41.250 --> 00:04:44.625
I want you to feel it because when you feel it, you do something with it.
00:04:44.625 --> 00:04:48.444
Write that thing down that you like yo, I used to have mad adoration for that.
00:04:48.444 --> 00:04:49.399
I don't have it like, I do not, like I did 10 years ago, and with it.
00:04:49.399 --> 00:04:50.612
Write that thing down that you, like yo, I used to have mad adoration for that.
00:04:50.612 --> 00:04:50.935
I don't have it like.
00:04:50.935 --> 00:04:51.475
I do not like I did 10 years ago.
00:04:51.475 --> 00:04:53.543
Man, I used to admire that thing.
00:04:53.543 --> 00:04:56.471
Man, I used to think about that thing a certain way.
00:04:56.471 --> 00:05:01.648
Man, I had high regard for it, right, write it down.
00:05:01.648 --> 00:05:02.771
What's the thing that?
00:05:02.870 --> 00:05:12.569
And I'm telling you, I'm telling you that the next level this is not a coincidence of all the words God could have gave CJ, he gave him the word respect, right.
00:05:12.569 --> 00:05:20.213
So the first time I remember the word respect and really like whoa, I get it, was the Godfather.
00:05:20.213 --> 00:05:25.110
When I watched the movie the Godfather, I was like whoa, that's respect.
00:05:25.110 --> 00:05:32.093
Like I don't know how and what happened, but my man Coleon I'm like my man made moves.
00:05:32.093 --> 00:05:34.629
Everybody was like it was a kiss, kiss, hand.
00:05:34.629 --> 00:05:37.206
I was like whoa, that's respect.
00:05:37.206 --> 00:05:42.226
Remember what I told y'all the first thing I want you to respect is life, because you won't have it forever.
00:05:42.226 --> 00:05:49.060
And when you leave this place, I want you to have a different level of respect for life and this place.
00:05:49.060 --> 00:06:04.968
I want you to have a different level of respect for life and I want you to have a different level of respect for the lives that God has entrusted you to right, another level of respect, right, and I'm telling y'all, I remember when I first got Dayton Deedee, first got married, I remember there was a, there was a period where I got married.
00:06:05.028 --> 00:06:08.807
I don't know what happened, but I almost got comfortable right.
00:06:08.807 --> 00:06:26.826
And I'm looking now at you know opening the doors for you know, at the stores, she walking down the stairs If I feel like she can't, whatever, she going up a hill, I feel like I grabbed and I remember there was a time I wasn't doing that and I remember the time that I wasn't doing it, that the relationship wasn't as blissful as it is when I do that.
00:06:26.826 --> 00:06:46.312
But there's something about when I got the respect back for and realized who she is and who, and so what I have to do every day when I wake up, I have to remember, because you know, you start making money, you get degree, like, whatever time, whatever happened when you were 16, when you 26,.
00:06:46.312 --> 00:06:50.764
You could forget it, 36, you could forget it 36, you could forget it 46, you can forget it.
00:06:50.764 --> 00:06:59.235
But every day when I wake up and I look at Didi, I have to, like, remind myself you were homeless, you were a high school dropout.
00:06:59.516 --> 00:07:21.427
God specifically brought her in your life not only to put you up in the winter months, not only to give you her allowance, not only to make her get on your last nerve and get your GED and follow you, to not only have your children not only finish school first, not only get the job before you got the job, not only get the insurance before, not only buy the first house with her credit because you didn't have a credit.
00:07:21.427 --> 00:07:22.750
God was like yo.
00:07:22.750 --> 00:07:31.754
You have to remember that every single day because if you forget that and you remember who you guys are today, you might lose some respect.
00:07:31.754 --> 00:07:52.490
But if you remember every single day when you were homeless, when you remember every single day how she looked after you and looked out for you, if you remember that every single day, then the exact thing that you have is going to be different than it would be if you didn't, if you didn't have, if you didn't think of her highly, if you didn't, you didn't adore her Right, if you didn't respect, if you didn't think of her highly, if you didn't adore her right, if you didn't respect her.
00:07:52.490 --> 00:07:55.452
So I want you to write down just as we're going through.
00:07:55.492 --> 00:07:59.156
Write it down Like, ooh, I got too comfortable with this thing.
00:07:59.156 --> 00:08:01.598
Ooh, I don't respect it, like I used to.
00:08:01.598 --> 00:08:05.512
Ooh, god has blessed me and I forgot what happened 10 years ago.
00:08:05.512 --> 00:08:07.684
I forgot what happened 20 years ago.
00:08:07.684 --> 00:08:12.392
I'm waking up today and I'm geeked up about today and all the things that are happening.
00:08:12.392 --> 00:08:18.382
But let me go back and remind myself.
00:08:18.382 --> 00:08:21.415
Before I had the PhD some of you before I had the master's, before I had the business, before I had the bank account.
00:08:21.435 --> 00:08:28.052
I find it funny that that sometimes when folks blow up, they start, you know, they leave this person, get with another person.
00:08:28.052 --> 00:08:35.370
They leave this partner, business partner, get with this business partner, and they forget that that person was the person that got you here.
00:08:35.370 --> 00:08:50.451
And it is respect and honor for you to bless that person when you get a chance, the way they blessed you when you weren't blessed, and now you're blessed and you're blessing somebody else instead of blessing the person that God.
00:08:50.451 --> 00:08:57.201
I just want you to think like where have I lost my respect Again?
00:08:57.201 --> 00:09:01.552
I don't know why God gave him that word, but I just keep hearing respect, respect, respect.
00:09:01.552 --> 00:09:04.145
So the first thing I want you to respect is life.
00:09:04.145 --> 00:09:06.231
Make it count.
00:09:06.231 --> 00:09:08.948
Y'all thought I was playing Boo and I.
00:09:08.948 --> 00:09:10.162
We got.
00:09:10.282 --> 00:09:14.971
And again, the Bible says that I can pray for the desires of my heart.
00:09:14.971 --> 00:09:24.509
So my heart, my heart, has 18,250 days left In my heart.
00:09:24.509 --> 00:09:25.672
That's my desire, god.
00:09:25.672 --> 00:09:28.135
I want 18,250 more days.
00:09:28.135 --> 00:09:29.907
That's what my prayer is.
00:09:29.907 --> 00:09:35.067
And this 18,250, I want to do different than the first.
00:09:35.067 --> 00:09:37.231
Make it count.
00:09:37.231 --> 00:09:40.005
So write that down, god, we're not going to be deep today.
00:09:40.005 --> 00:09:52.067
God, the first, whatever you gave me, man, I made a whole bunch of, and you brought me here to let me know that I don't respect taking, I don't respect breath, I don't respect life.
00:09:52.067 --> 00:09:54.130
I'm acting like I'm going to live forever.
00:09:54.130 --> 00:09:56.883
So I so so me and my wife can get into it.
00:09:57.102 --> 00:09:58.687
Listen to me, I will not.
00:09:59.086 --> 00:10:01.091
I promise you quest, I will not.
00:10:01.091 --> 00:10:01.873
I will not.
00:10:01.873 --> 00:10:03.062
I can't speak for Didi.
00:10:03.062 --> 00:10:05.586
I will not waste another.
00:10:05.586 --> 00:10:11.214
I will not waste one of the 18,250 days beefing.
00:10:11.214 --> 00:10:11.774
I won't.
00:10:11.774 --> 00:10:13.322
I won't go.
00:10:13.322 --> 00:10:15.226
We won't go a day or a night.
00:10:15.226 --> 00:10:19.744
I can't tell her what to do, but I won't waste the 18,250.
00:10:19.744 --> 00:10:22.428
I won't waste two or three of those days not talking.
00:10:22.428 --> 00:10:23.951
I won't do it.
00:10:23.951 --> 00:10:25.503
I won't go to bed angry.
00:10:25.503 --> 00:10:26.666
I only got.
00:10:26.666 --> 00:10:29.956
Listen to me, me, I only have 18,250.
00:10:29.956 --> 00:10:31.100
How many you got left?
00:10:31.100 --> 00:10:32.082
Listen to me very close.
00:10:32.082 --> 00:10:34.107
I know I told you and you played with it.
00:10:34.107 --> 00:10:36.902
You better my man say he got me.
00:10:36.902 --> 00:10:39.086
What do you write this down?
00:10:39.086 --> 00:10:40.129
What are you taking for granted?
00:10:40.129 --> 00:10:41.480
Write down what you take for granted.
00:10:41.480 --> 00:10:44.469
I don't know what you take for granted, but you can't tell me.
00:10:44.509 --> 00:10:48.806
You get married and you think when you get married that you're going to be married for 30 days.
00:10:48.806 --> 00:10:52.832
There are things that we take for granted.
00:10:52.832 --> 00:10:53.234
I don't know.
00:10:53.234 --> 00:10:54.543
Somebody could tell me.
00:10:54.543 --> 00:10:58.941
But when you got married, how many like, how many years did you and you like?
00:10:58.941 --> 00:11:06.466
I don't even know if it's years, you may not be able to use years, but how much time do you felt like when you got married that you was going to have with your spouse.
00:11:06.466 --> 00:11:09.490
Somebody answer that for me.
00:11:09.490 --> 00:11:12.534
You got married Like, give me, like I thought we was going to 10, 20.
00:11:12.534 --> 00:11:19.446
Somebody tell me how long you thought like we're going to be married Forever.
00:11:19.446 --> 00:11:20.009
We had kids.
00:11:20.009 --> 00:11:25.592
Nobody thought they was going to bury their children first.
00:11:25.592 --> 00:11:27.500
Nobody thought they was going to bury their baby.
00:11:27.500 --> 00:11:28.842
You don't bury your baby the way, way it goes.
00:11:28.842 --> 00:11:30.647
Your baby buries you.
00:11:30.647 --> 00:11:33.033
I know multiple people who've lost their children.
00:11:33.033 --> 00:11:36.767
Friend lost their child to cancer at five.
00:11:36.767 --> 00:11:39.351
What are you taking for granted?
00:11:39.351 --> 00:11:40.033
I'm listen to me.
00:11:40.033 --> 00:11:41.703
You're not hearing what I'm saying you.
00:11:41.703 --> 00:11:43.027
There are things that you don't.
00:11:43.128 --> 00:11:44.961
God told me to tell you don't pray, no more.
00:11:44.961 --> 00:11:45.864
You don't need to pray.
00:11:45.864 --> 00:11:47.006
Don't keep asking him for the same thing.
00:11:47.006 --> 00:11:47.368
He said don't.
00:11:47.368 --> 00:11:48.812
God told me to tell you don't pray, no more, you don't need to pray.
00:11:48.812 --> 00:11:49.875
Don't keep asking him for the same thing.
00:11:49.875 --> 00:11:50.597
He said don't pray to me, no more.
00:11:50.597 --> 00:11:51.139
I gave it to you already.
00:11:51.139 --> 00:11:52.102
Do something with it.
00:11:52.102 --> 00:11:54.292
I already gave it to you.
00:11:54.292 --> 00:11:54.813
Why you keep?
00:11:54.813 --> 00:11:56.119
Why you asking me for it?
00:11:56.119 --> 00:11:57.443
You're the one taking it for granted.
00:11:57.443 --> 00:11:58.447
I, you, you.
00:11:58.447 --> 00:11:59.493
I gave you life.
00:11:59.493 --> 00:12:00.174
It's precious.
00:12:00.174 --> 00:12:01.340
You're the one playing with it.
00:12:01.340 --> 00:12:02.403
You getting up late.
00:12:02.403 --> 00:12:03.365
You got attitude.
00:12:03.365 --> 00:12:03.846
You don.
00:12:03.846 --> 00:12:09.383
What are you taking for granted?
00:12:09.383 --> 00:12:12.532
Who are you taking for granted?
00:12:12.532 --> 00:12:14.278
Who are you believing they're going to be there tomorrow?
00:12:14.278 --> 00:12:16.316
You're just going to wake up and they're just going to be there.
00:12:16.937 --> 00:12:18.500
You don't have forever.
00:12:18.500 --> 00:12:19.623
Stop acting like it.
00:12:19.623 --> 00:12:21.525
You don't have forever.
00:12:21.525 --> 00:12:22.528
Stop acting like it.
00:12:22.528 --> 00:12:25.121
Stop taking certain things for granted.
00:12:25.121 --> 00:12:28.554
When you leave, your life is going to go to another level.
00:12:28.554 --> 00:12:28.975
Why?
00:12:28.975 --> 00:12:31.784
Because you don't need anything else.
00:12:31.914 --> 00:12:33.681
When you were born, god gave it all to you.
00:12:33.681 --> 00:12:35.044
Listen to me.
00:12:35.044 --> 00:12:39.761
I mean that when I say that this voice, god didn't give me this.
00:12:39.761 --> 00:13:00.380
When I got baptized and got my life right, like I had this from birth, like this base, like when I was born and God was forming me, he said to whoever was created turn and tremble down some, just yep, a little bit more bass, yep, come on A little bit more bass, yep, come on A little bit more bass, yep, come on, yep.
00:13:00.380 --> 00:13:05.395
That's it right there, boom, I will give you what you need to eat, son.
00:13:05.395 --> 00:13:07.417
You don't got to go work for nobody.
00:13:07.417 --> 00:13:10.599
If you don't want to, I'm going to give you, I'm going to give him a little yep.
00:13:10.599 --> 00:13:14.760
That energy, yep, yep, bring it up, yep, bring it up, yep, bring it up, yep, yep.
00:13:14.760 --> 00:13:17.081
Give him more yep, give him that passion.
00:13:18.682 --> 00:13:22.764
I was giving this everything you need to be, everything God wants you to be.
00:13:22.764 --> 00:13:25.187
Before you came out, you had it.
00:13:25.187 --> 00:13:28.187
You're just not using it because you're taking it for granted.
00:13:28.187 --> 00:13:29.869
Everybody don't have this.
00:13:29.869 --> 00:13:31.789
This is a gift from God.
00:13:31.789 --> 00:13:34.292
Everybody don't have this passion.
00:13:34.292 --> 00:13:36.173
Somebody say, e, you're super emotional.
00:13:36.173 --> 00:13:37.373
That's a gift from God.
00:13:37.373 --> 00:13:40.498
I just got to use it in the right way.
00:13:40.498 --> 00:13:41.760
What are you taking for granted?
